Hello dear friends and family! Today is declared a "DARA prayer DAY!" The doctors (her original surgeons from San Diego) came in to tell her this morning they are going to get her in surgery this evening/early morning for another surgery. They are going into the same incision site and she will come out with the head dressing and will be in ICU. There is another chance for facial paralysis. Please join in prayer for her today and for the Lord's hand to be upon the doctors during surgery. Here is the scoop:
The initital "fatty deposit" from her hip was inserted in her skull area after the tumor was removed so that it would replace the matter. They said that when she first "sprang a leak" of CSF after the first surgery, it caused the meningitis and for the fatty deposit to break down. From the last MRI taken this week - it showed the fat deposit has doubled in size bc it is breaking down and is causing the "chemical meningitis" and swelling and sickness. They are going to go into her same incision, remove the fat, take some from her other hip and replace it again.
Art is heading down to San Diego today and will be with her during surgery. Other family is with the kids and Aunt cathy comes to help wed/thur before Jules gets there on Friday. Mom will be out of school and will be heading that way soon, followed by me!
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts! We are blessed by your friendship.

Dara and family,
I continue to pray for each of you each day as you travel this road to recovery. I know there have been a few bumps along the way, but God is with you every step of the way. Good luck with surgery tonight and I will continue to check your blog for updates.
In prayers,

A PRAYER FOR THE PATIENT
FACING SURGERY
O God, the source of all health.
Fill my heart with faith.
Be near me in times of weakness and pain. Although I know You are in control, I am apprehensive about what faces me. You made me, loved me, and have provided my surgeon with needed skill to perform a miracle in my behalf. Sustain me by Your grace that my strength and courage may not fail; Heal me according to Your will.
Amen.
Dara,
You are in my prayers, girlie, and have been for several months now!!! I will continue to keep you close to my heart, my soul, and in my prayers. We all love you and are praying for everything to get better for you. God has a special plan for each and everyone of us...this is the road He has decided to let you drive down. Keep your spirits high, and HE will get you through everything. Your family is here for you!! Just another bump in the road, and it will all be a distant memory in the future. I am praying for your family as well. Keep your head held up high!!!(also keeps the swelling down :)) I love you, girl!!!
